Our Frida event

My craft group, The Phoenix Fridas had our 3rd Annual Frida Kahlo Birthday Celebration last Saturday at Changing Hands Bookstore.

Frida was born July 6th 1907 and passed away on July 13, 1954. That's why we always hold our event within that week. There are seven in our group and we are all inspired by Frida for different reasons. We are not alone - there were about 200 people who came to the event throughout the day.

I held make-and-take craft sessions and a book reading, April Edwards delivered a presentation on "Toxic Love", Anita Mabante-Leach demonstrated how to make one of Frida's favorite meals, Carmen de Novais sang various songs by female songwriters and Leticia de la Vara read a story to the kids. Emily Costello and Lucia Madrid helped us all out with whatever we needed!

One of the highlights was artist Denisse Leon who came as Frida and portrayed her all day!

Here are some videos from our event!
